Also, unless wordpress has changed things, the pinging happens when you post them, not when they actually "show up".. In other words, if you add 30 predated entries, all the pings will happen as you add them and not over the next 30 days (assuming they're 1 per day). There are supposed to be some plugins to "fix" this, but I haven't looked into it.
